Our barbers will do no more shav ing on Sunday. Tho Mill Crock school, Thomas Wilier, teacher, will clo.e next Friday Mr. Pctor Hart, has sold his farm in tho Harmony district and will romovo iso Nodaway county. Women aro not cruel by nature. Wo never heard of one thoughtless enough to step on a mouse. Tim man who stops his paper to economize, ought to cut off his nose to keep Irom buying handkerchiefs. Spring drummers will soon be ripe, but be careful how you attorapt to pluck them. They are a knowing sot. There has been a decided chui.go in tho weather tho past week. Over--nat and fires are decidedly comforta ble. A Western newspaper has an arti cle upon "Where Kditors Go when They Die." as if there were any ques tion about it.

Hoblltzell, Smith & Josse.of Mound City, aro uow ready for business, and have opened out a largo stock of hard ware and agricultural implements, as will bo scon by looking over our advor tiring colums. Tho sormon last Sunday ovenlng, by Rov. Williamson of tho Frosbytorl an church, on " Tho Authenticity of tho Bible" was tiio ablest discourse on this Mibject wo havo over listened to, It was a mnsUrry effort. Exchanges are recording it as a fact that there is a strango dlstase among mules in tho eastern part of Buchanan county. They work, cat well, and scorn hearty up to their last minutes, when thoy drop dead in tbeir stalls or harness. From a circular, issued by 11. D. Shannon, Supt. of Schools wo learn that his work on Civil Government, now in press by Messrs. Appleton, of Philadelphia, will bo issued oaily in March and It is a work that should becomo a popular text book. A young man from Forbes stood In front of tho Hank last Friday night, ahd every fow minutes would rattle tho door as though ho was trying to shake tho building down. He said he came all tho way from homo to got a check cashed, and thought It "downright on- ory" bceauso tho bunk closed o'clock. Ho was very irosh. at 4 Tho Savannah Reporter says: It will be remembered that Mr. Joseph H. Terhuue had a man arrested for mulo stealing last fall, and was compelled to to permit him to bo rolcascd bceauso ho coued not find tho owner of tho mules. Mn vlVrhuno informs us that Charles Stowart, 2 II-JJ county, noar Forost City, was too owner, lie hau them on the range, whence they wero stolon, ami not miffed until six weeks ago Tho mulo and mare wero both found the latter In tho hands ot Wiley Chap man, of Hucbnnan county. Thrtffthiof, Dennis Watson,was captured in Holt comity, as ho rerided in tho Ticinlty of where the property was owned.

They aro .selling goods on their morits With a largo stock of almost everything and gentlemanly clerks to walton you, our readers aro cordially requested to call and see theni. Will tho Missouri Press Associa tion which moots In St. Joseph in May, take any action in regard to tho "dead beat," advertising agents? Will it tako any action in regard to tho outrageous laws upon our Statutes, which tend only to crush out or cripple tho newspa per Interests of our State? "Any good shooting on your farm?" askod tho hunter of the farmer. Sp'ou- did," replied tho agriculturist ; "there's a drive well man down in the clover meadow, a cloth peddler nt tho house, candidate out in the barn and two tramps down in the stock yard. Climb right over tho fence, young man, load both barrels, and sail iu." Tho order of tho postofHco depart ment issued some days ugo to the effect that "postmasters will not allow non subscribers to take from the boxes, nor will thoy hand to thorn, newspapers addressed to subscribers refolded and returned to them, into tho goueral del- Ivory, without vorbal or written por ni it from such subscriber, and that violation of this regulation will bo con sidered ns mmulent around for tho re moval of the offending postmaster," will probably bring relief from many complaints that reach tho newspaper ofllces. particularly from country sub scribers. Thoro Is a class of persons a this world by no means small, whos Vproui incut peculiarity is wbmlng.M Thoy whine bocauso thoy aro poor.u.or it rich bceauso thoy havo not hcuth to onjoy their riehos j thoy whino because thov havo no luck, nnd otters' )ros pcrity exceeds theirs ; thoy wbln'J be cause bouio friends havo died anuv thoy are still living; thoy wblno becauso thoy havo aches and pains, and .'Wov have actios and pains, becauso 1 whlno; thoy whine, no ono knows1, they why, Now a word to these whining poll ons: First, stop whining It is of$ nil uso complaining, fretting, fault finding and whining. Why, younro tho most tie ludod set of creatures who over lived! Do vou know that It is a welUsottlod principle of physiology and common sense that these habits nro more ox hauatiug to nervous vitality than almost any other violation of physiological law? And do you know that llfo Ispret ty much ua you make it? You can moko It bright' aud sunshiny, or you can make it dark nnd shadowv. This llfo lb meant only to diciplino us to fit us for a higher and puror state of being. Thtn stop whinlnK nnd fretting, and go on your way rejoicing. All tho world's a stagu," nnd tho newspapers aro tho footlights. Tho Owl club serenaded a number of our citizens one ovenlng laxt week.

A committee of nno irom each township was appointed to solicit the payment of the amount assessed. 1 he question of good feed corn will soni begin to'agltuto tho farmers in this section, and it would bo well to begin to save It up now. Much of tho ci.rn raiccd last year is ui.sound and cannot bi depended upon to giro a reasonably fair stand when planted, and for this reiiKor. it will reqmro much picking to get such seed as can ho de pended on. Get some barrels ami be- Uln at ono to save up all tho soundest! ears you como to. Henry Pulver, ono of tho farmers who loft the bottom last spring; during tho overflow and wont to wetern Kan sas, cursing Missouri, Holt count), aud especially the bottom, sold his farm here to a mini out in Kansas, and has now returned and bo'ught a farm in this county in tho very t-amo bottom which I "3 left last spring in such disgust-nnd within two miles of tho placo formerly owned by him.

Couch, of St. Joseph, has quit the country very suddenly and unan nounced. Everybody In Northwest Mis souri knows Couch, tho mulo nnd horse man. He has been very extensively ad vertised as a business man. Tho man ner of taking off is decidedly against him, aud smacks loudly of cowaidlco and dishonesty, leaving as ho does about $20,000,00 of Indebtedness for which lie makes no provision nor oven a promise. Ueforo he left ho transfer red a number of pieces of properly, and got what monoy ho could on them, - -We havo received the March num ber of tho Cottage Hearth of Boston.

Miss Hello Downey, of Minnesota Valley, entertained n number ot her young friends at the resideneo of her father, Tuesday evening of last week. There ought to be a law against people stretching their clothes lines so low down that they will catch a fellow under thu chin, when ho is out of nights buying cows. There is an organized ganx in this Western country, whoso gamo is hiring team and buggies at livery stables, to go a fow ml'es on business, but who cut around in an opposite direction, aud skip the country selling the team the lirst opportunity. Livery stable keepers will havo to adopt some plin to secure themselves from such scoundrels. The Nodaway Democrat pays the following compliment to Its Circuit Clerk: Circuit Clerk Lawren.o J.
